I'm like dunster. I originally bought Quilt Wizard and played with that a little, but it didn't do some of the things I wanted to do. I eventually ended up buying EQ6 and love it. There IS a learning curve, and I certainly don't do everything it can do, but the things I DO use it for make it priceless for me! You won't be sorry if you invest in it (and yes, it is an investment for most of us).
